I learned in Romans that the Law has nothing to say to a dead man Romans 7:1, we read in Romans 6:14 that sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. We see here that Paul gives us an illustration of marriage Romans 7:2, 3 , No one can loosen the bonds of marriage until someone dies. Let me give you a personal illustration of this,…
We are about to end the first of three chapter that deal with Sanctification (Romans 6-8) with only the last two verses left, Romans 6:22, 23. In the first three chapters of Romans Paul has to literally get us lost as he shows us in detail that the whole world is guilty Romans 3:1- 15. Then there’s the greatest paragraph in the bible Romans 3:21-26, where Christ is our propitiation. Then we hear a…
I don’t now about you, but that question has entered my mind more than once this past week after the election… What Now? The above 11 minute audio clip I found at Grace To You blog will give you some help with that answer. I was taking with someone after church this past Sunday, we were talking about the persecuted church and we both had the same thought, we’re going to see who the…
Jesus who was the greatest teacher, scholar and theologian to ever live said in Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. I have to ask the question…. Who’s your Master? Let me ask it this way… Whose slave are you? Paul says in Romans 6 verse 14 For sin shall…
I have posted this video before, it just seems right to post it again today, we as Christians come together to worship God in spirit and truth John 4:24 and in the name of Jesus Christ, it’s a communion of believers as a congregation, with one focus and one focus only to worship God and for the glory of our Lord, to be built up by hearing a word from God preached which is able to convict…
After I read this quote below I am reminded of Acts 6:4 and that reads “But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Don’t get me wrong all the other ministries are very important, But we! We the spiritual teachers, the elders and most importantly the Pastors! We will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. This is just a reminder to you who Pastor…
We had a prayer meeting last night, and it was just a wonderful time in prayer to our great God, with fellowship and communion with Him and His people. It reminded me of one of my favorite puritan prayers Meeting God… Also the truth that my life needs to be steeped in much prayer: Great God, in public and private, in sanctuary and home, may my life be steeped in prayer, filled with the…
But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:28 At the heart of the present significance of the Lord’s Supper is our communion or fellowship with Christ, hence the term “communion service.” In coming to this service the believer comes to meet with Christ and have fellowship with Him at His invitation. The examination takes place because it would…
This past Tuesday I shared with you in What I Learned in Church This Week that I felt the word of God was truly the center of the worship service. I ended that post saying that I wanted to explain why and take you to Nehemiah chapter 8, showing how effective the word of God can be on His people. I am convinced that we must understand what the bible is saying before the word of…
In 2 Timothy 4:1, 2 and 3 Paul says to young Timothy “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting…
